Joaquin Phoenix almost quit his Oscar-nominated role in the iconic film 'Gladiator,' but director Ridley Scott's brotherly approach kept him on board.

  • According to Ridley Scott, Phoenix had moments on set where he didn't think he could make the movie, and co-star Russell Crowe found his behavior 'terribly unprofessional'.
  • Scott revealed that he handled the situation by acting as a 'big brother or dad' to Phoenix, and their close friendship helped convince the actor to stay on for the role that became one of his most acclaimed performances.
